Lost Sausages of the Great War:

The Gaurdian reports that the “quantity of cow intestines used in manufacturing airships was so enormous that making of sausages was temporarily outlawed in Germany.”

Seriously, if you were ever amused by my prior LTA posts, this is worth a read.

Optima? with bad kerning. naw. – 05:33 AM GMT

@GlennF well, it makes that claim. i define its politics as precisely that; we differ. I make no effort to convince you of my viewpoint. – 12:44 AM GMT
@GlennF pescriptivist! 😉 – 12:46 AM GMT
@GlennF the Economist’s effort to identify itself as “pragmatic” is accurate from their viewpoint. Pragmatism accepts extant power. – 12:47 AM GMT
@GlennF that’s a conservative, rightist stance. it is also self-camouflaging. I’m not looking for a beef here; my perspective is not theirs. – 12:49 AM GMT
@GlennF and now I’m selling my viewpoint. STOP THAT, MIKE. – 12:50 AM GMT
@GlennF ah, I see. Try this: The Economist, to me, is neither centrist nor free of ideological slant; it is far to the right of me. – 12:53 AM GMT
@GlennF I go through this every night with Marketplace, FWIW. Standing in the kitchen cutting onions, arguing with the air. – 12:54 AM GMT
@GlennF lastly, I’m really not trying to beef with you about one of your venues. It’s AWESOME you get to work for them. – 12:57 AM GMT

@jackwilliambell I hear you. I don’t think it ever really scars. I just get blindsided a lot less. Much less random bawling in public. – 04:59 AM GMT
@jackwilliambell … Also, I was glad hear you went out. I was time shifted and couldn’t say “go out”; it was the right decision. – 05:01 AM GMT
